Background and Objectives: Free cancer cells in the abdominal cavity exfoliated from a tumor are considered to be responsible for peritoneal dissemination, the most frequent pattern of failure in gastric carcinoma patients treated with curative surgery. Methods: A prospective survival analysis was p
Patients with stage T3NO-2M0 gastric carcinoma (n = 108) were studied for relevant prognostic factors. Peritoneal lavage cytology (PLC) was performed in all. In univariate analysis, 5-year survival rates were better with smaller serosal invasion (diameter <3.0 cm vs. a 3 . 0 cm, 61% vs. 37%, P < 0.0
